Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions | Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions On October 10, 2023, the Company expanded into the Colorado market by acquiring certain assets of Richfield Homes, LLC (“Richfield”). The Company paid an aggregate cash purchase price of $22.5 million to acquire approximately 290 owned or controlled lots in the greater Denver, Colorado area, including any construction in progress on those lots. This acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
On January 18, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of Hanover Family Builders, LLC (“Hanover”), a Florida-based homebuilder, for an aggregate cash purchase price, net of working capital adjustments, of $262.6 million (the “Hanover Acquisition”). The aggregate purchase price included a pay-off of $69.3 million related to debt held by Hanover and a payment of $15.6 million for land-related deposits. The total assets of Hanover included approximately 20 development projects and 3,800 lots owned or controlled in various stages of development.
In accordance with ASC 805, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition of Hanover were measured and recognized at fair value as of the date of the acquisition to reflect the purchase price paid.
Acquired inventories consist of land, land deposits, and work in process inventories. For acquired land and land options, the Company typically utilizes, with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, a sales comparison approach. For work in process inventories, the Company estimates the fair value based upon the stage of production of each unit and a gross margin that management believes a market participant would require to complete the remaining development and requisite selling efforts. On the acquisition date, the stage of production for each lot ranged from recently started lots to fully completed homes. The intangible asset acquired relates to the Hanover trade name, which is estimated to have a fair value of $1.6 million and is being amortized over one year. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and relates primarily to the assembled workforce and business synergies. Goodwill of $44.2 million was recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of this transaction and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. The acquired goodwill is included in the Florida reporting segment in Note 13 – Segment Reporting. The Company incurred transaction related costs of $0.7 million related to the Hanover Acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company’s results of operations include homebuilding revenues from the Hanover Acquisition of $334.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The accompanying results of operations also include pretax income of $20.1 million from the Hanover Acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2022. The pretax income is inclusive of purchase price accounting and an allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses.
The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (dollars in thousands).
On May 4, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of Mercedes Premier Homes, LLC (also known as Vintage Estate Homes, LLC, or “Vintage”), a Florida- and Texas-based homebuilder, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $54.6 million (the “Vintage Acquisition”). In addition, the Company assumed $32.1 million of debt, of which it paid down $3.8 million in connection with the acquisition. Total assets included approximately 20 development projects and 1,800 lots in various stages of development. The

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
Unaudited pro forma revenue and net income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 give effect to the results of the acquisitions of Hanover and Vintage as though the respective acquisition dates were as of January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2020, the beginning of the year preceding the respective acquisitions. Unaudited pro forma net income adjusts the operating results of the stated acquisitions to reflect the additional costs that would have been recorded assuming the fair value adjustments had been applied as of the beginning of the year preceding the year of acquisition, including the tax-effected amortization of the acquired trade names and transaction related costs. The Company did not have any acquisitions that were treated as a business combination in 2023 and therefore no proforma is presented for the year ended December 31, 2023.
